This series of Snap-Fit E-Z Track is very nice, but I do wish Bachmann, which in other cases supports the On30 scale and gauge, would also produce track for that gauge. This is HO scale and gauge, but from what I can see, it says so only in tiny letters on the package. They promote this HO gauge track as usable for On30 (O scale - 1:48 and 2 1/2 foot gauge), and it is true, it works just fine for On30, but does not look good on the layout, as ties (for our friends in the UK "sleepers") are too small and too close together. PECO makes track specially for On30, although it is not modular and not so easy to put together. I've used this E-Z Track as an expensive way to plan a large layout, but will be laying the PECO track in the end.

True, these are not like the ones I had when I was a kid but these slide together easy. They're a hard plastic base, metal rails. Only one word of caution; If you don't pay attention you can slip them together while still having the metal tracks misaligned. Not that it's hard to put them together but it's easy to overlook because they will still go together.

The help of my 6 and 8 year old grandchildren was required to put this track together. They were able to show me how to make this work. Assembly assisted with my "bonding" efforts a lot. I'm sure that I could not have put this track together without their engineering skills. I should have ordered more track and several variations and will do so after Christmas. Maybe then the grandkids will let me play with the train.
